Polished transcript:

Male Female

The person that I admire is my best friend. Well, she's actually two years older than me, but I just want to call her my friend because since I was a child, my mom and her mother have been best friends before they had us. So when we were just babies, they introduced us to each other, and then we became best friends. We were so close, and we kind of grew up together, so that's why it feels like she's a sister to me. She feels like family to me, and we don't have any age gap between us. The reason that I admire her is that she's a very positive person, and I love everything about her. In this generation, I think it's very hard to find a true friend, and she's always there when I need anything or when I'm at my lowest. She never judges me, even though she's very rich and has everything that a girl in this generation would love. I just love how she's very rich, but she never shows off what she has. She lives like a normal person and doesn't try to judge others who are less fortunate than her. That is a reason I think she's a very beautiful human being inside and out, and she is a very intelligent woman. She's very strong. Well, she never chases love from any boys; she's my idol. In education, well, I just told you that she's intelligent, right? Yeah, she just entered BBA Chula this year. It's just her freshman year, and BBA Chula is one of the hardest faculties.
